Determine Who Are Your Customers and Stakeholders, and What Benefits Your Organisation Offers Them In our previous article we emphasised the customer/stakeholder focus of the business process approach to management. The first step is therefore clearly determining who those customers and stakeholders are. Who buys or uses your product or service offering? Who makes the buying decision? What exactly are they buying in terms of benefits? Who else is affected by your activities and what are their expectations?A small pharmaceutical manufacturer of multivitamins, antibiotics, syrups and OTC medicines for children, located in a large African city, was trying to answer these questions for their own organisation. They came up with the following.Customer/Stakeholder and Benefits Sought Wholesalers: Availability, reliable delivery, favourable payment terms, margins, marketing support Retailers: Availability, quality, clear product information, price Suppliers: Guaranteed business, prompt payment Ho By eliminating the basic health concern, marketers are finding that waterless tattoos are fast-becoming a top marketing tool of choice.

But because effective promotional marketing is about specifics, let's take a look at specific ways you can use waterless tattoos to your strategic advantage.An award-winning contractor in Savannah, Georgia (who also happens to be my award-winning brother) wrote:‘In my business (home construction and remodeling), I have many accounts with different suppliers supporting the construction industry. Sometimes I use their services and then will not see them again for 8 to 12 months or whenever my next project requires. When I do return to order new supplies, some companies have let my account “run out”, and I have to apply for a new account with them all over again.‘I ask why they don’t send a card letting me know that my account has become dormant, and is about to be closed? Perhaps they could offer me an incentive to return and make a purchase instead of just “letting me go”. After all, they already have me as a good customer, just not very frequent. I just thought this might be happening in other industries as well.’***This is a great question, and a terrific point for anyone seeking to grow their business.

Based on a survey conducted by RightStar Systems, only 5% of the help desk managers interviewed were using automation to its fullest capacity. Most use it to some degree while others do not use it at all. Tom Jud, Emerging Growth Manager for BMC Software, has observed “…that the Business Rules Engine provided by the Magic Help Desk product, is the key feature that organizations should leverage to drive support efficiency and cost savings.” He explains that the two main reasons for organizations not deploying workflow automation are 1) the perceived level of difficulty in implementing these functions and 2) The lack of workflow planning used in developing the helpdesk program.

Plain and simple. After the eve of the bubble burst, the internet is once again the place to be. With words like Adsense, affiliate marketing and CPM internet entrepreneurs and webmasters alike flock to get a piece of the pie. And from those many there are a handful few big guys (or girls). These few have mastered their arena and serve as an example for the rest of us. Yes, we would never say no to a six-figure MONTHLY residual income, but those of us who are truly entrepreneurs see it as a guarantee. We know that if they can do it, so can we.

To get maximum leverage, plan to launch a new product, offering or service at the trade show and hype it with your in-store signs. This tactic helps improve booth traffic at the trade show. Once people attend the booth they are introduced to the new product or service, given the waterless tattoos and told of the incentive to wear the tattoo into the retail store within the next three days. Taken a step further, encourage trade show attendees to apply the tattoo (usually to the back of their hand) right away. Tell them that company representatives are wandering the trade show floor randomly awarding, special prizes to those who are sporting the tattoo. These special prizes can range from store gift certificates to store-related promotional items. One good approach is to award people with a large trade show bag. The bag is big enough that attendees put all their other stuff into your imprinted bag, giving you even more exposure. The combination of the waterless tattoo and the bag exposes your company logo to everyone in attendance. When others see people being rewarded for having the waterless tattoo, it can further increase booth traffic giving your company/business exposure to possible new customers.
